What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a method of physical treatment first developed by A.T. Still, an American physician in the 19th century. It is an established and recognized system of diagnosis and treatment and offers primary medical healthcare to its patients.

The main principles of osteopathy lay in the natural self-sufficiency of the human body and the interrelationships between structure and function. Osteopathy offers a holistic assessment of the patient with emphasis on the structural integrity of the body offering a unique way to understand the patient’s complaints from a mechanical, functional and postural perspective.

Age is no barrier to osteopathy since each patient is examined and assessed individually and treatment therefore is according to the presenting complaints and needs of the patient.

“Understand the root cause of the problem rather than just address the peripheral symptoms.”

Treatment is designed to correct each individual’s mechanical problems with the use of gentle manual techniques on joints, muscles and ligaments. Often this technique includes the use of manipulative adjustments to release joint restriction in order to inhibit aberrant neurological reflex pathways and stimulate the natural healing processes of the body.

In Osteopathy we consider the patients health as a contributing factor of any presenting symptoms of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of osteopathic treatment is to understand the root cause of the problem rather than just address the peripheral symptoms.
